Which medication to treat baby's diarrhea?

Most babies have diarrhea several times during their first few years. What medicine should your baby take to treat this digestive disorder?

  • If your baby has more than three loose or watery stools a day, it's called acute diarrhea.
  • The major risk of acute diarrhea is dehydration, so you should rehydrate your baby frequently.
  • First, use an oral rehydration solution dissolved in low mineralized water.
  • If the diarrhea persists, your pediatrician may prescribe medication appropriate to your child's age, or probiotics.

The medication is killing your good bacteria in your stomach which is making you have diarrhea so just put it back in there with the yogurt it should also help ease the diarrhea

Although they say it is not unfortunately but constipation is a sign of early pregnancy but later on during your pregnancy they say you can experience a little diarrhea but it's not one of the signs of pregnancy.

I would say stay hydrated with something like Gatorade since you’re most likely losing a lot of electrolytes and ask your doctor if taking extra strength Tylenol is okay that should help with the fever. You should probably go to the ER though since you’ve had the fever for awhile
